> Can it communicate with syslogd when chrooted?

Yes, it can.  However, you may not want to.  Consider that some syslogd's
have had exploits in the past, and that if you allow a daemon in the
chroot to communicate with a daemon outside the chroot, you're exposing
yourself in a way that violates the whole point of the chroot.

I would recommend running a full-on jail if it's possible.

 I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
 too young to have logged on yet.  Here's what I worry about.  I worry
 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
